  <h3>Getting started with IRC</h3>
  <p>“Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (Many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication.” –wikipedia entry for irc</p>
  <p>To use IRC, you need an IRC Client.</p>

  <p>Once you have a client installed, you will need to give it a server name to connect to IRC. Use irc.libera.chat. Once you are connected you need to join the #k-slug channel. This can be accomplished in most clients by typing /join #k-slug and hitting enter. For more help on IRC see this <a href="http://www.irchelp.org/">IRC help guide</a>. Hope to see you online!</p>
